Quote:

“Analysts say Shenzhen’s tablet makers churn out around 45% of the world’s tablets [some by Foxconn]— mostly sold in China and other developing markets — putting pricing pressure on big players like Apple and Samsung.

"The key has been chipmakers like Taiwan’s Mediatek and China’s Rockchip, who do much of the technical work for the manufacturers and then sell them a template for making the devices, analysts say. * * * Antonio Liu, analyst at market research firm IDC, says that these chipmakers, along with the cluster effect, have helped Shenzhen make low-cost tablets and react quickly to new trends.
